Chicken Pot Pie with Baking Powder Biscuits

Leftover Chicken in my house quite often results in Chicken Pot Pie. I always like having a plan for any leftovers. Cleaning out the fridge and filling a garbage bag is really quite sad and very expensive.

Cut into twelve pieces

Bake 10-12 minutes at 450° (This step is included above)

This a favorite in our household, tasty, cheap, uses leftovers, easy to make and quick. The reason that I put some of the biscuits on top and some on a tray is for two reasons. First in my casserole dish they won’t all fit. Second my daughter prefers them on the side buttered. I have also made it without the poultry seasoning and extra salt and pepper. I like it either way but my wife prefers it with the poultry seasoning. In this case the leftover chicken was BBQ Chicken thighs and it made enough to have leftovers of the Chicken Pot Pie as well.

I like to buy two chickens at the same time, take away and throw out the skin after which pick the particular bones thoroughly clean of meats breaking it into modest shreds or perhaps pieces. Naturally, I’m going to snack at the chicken while I am accomplishing this yet I do not really feel guilty, only comforted! The following area a some of the issues I actually do with the chicken to restore last in a variety of methods. Adjust the amount you eat to function the volume of people at your desk.

I’ve invited the family to ours this xmas for a traditional dinner, so the roast is pretty central to that.. I found an archive of recipes at this roast recipe site, but cant decide on anyone – there’s too many to choose from! It’s fun planning such a big family meal though!
